Title: | Electronic portfolios in nursing education: A review of the literature | Contributor(s): | Green, Janet (author); Wyllie, Aileen (author); Jackson, Debra (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.nepr.2013.08.011 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17131 | Abstract: | As health professionals, nurses are responsible for staying abreast of current professional knowledge and managing their own career, professional growth and development, and ideally, practices to support these activities should start during their student years. Interest in electronic or eportfolios is gathering momentum as educationalists explore their potential as a strategy for fostering lifelong learning and enhancing on-going personal and professional development. In this paper, we present an overview of eportfolios and their application to nurse education, highlighting potential benefits and considerations of useage. We argue that the e-portfolio can represent an authentic means of assessing cognitive, reflective and affective skills. Furthermore, the e-portfolio provides a means through which nurses can record and provide evidence of skills, achievements, experience, professional development and on-going learning, not only for themselves, but for the information and scrutiny of registration boards, employers, managers and peers. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Nurse Education in Practice, 14(1), p. 4-8 | Publisher: | Elsevier Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1873-5223 1471-5953 |
